Book Description

Python is a multi-domain, interpreted programming language that is easy to learn and implement. With its extensive support for frameworks for developing GUIs, you can build interactive and beautiful GUI-based applications seamlessly.

This third edition of the Python GUI Programming Cookbook follows a task-based approach to help you create effective GUIs with the smallest amount of code. Every recipe in this book builds upon the last to create a complete GUI application and solve common problems in GUI development. This Python cookbook mainly focuses on using Python’s built-in Tkinter GUI framework. You'll learn how to create GUIs in Python using simple programming styles and object-oriented programming (OOP).

As you add more widgets and expand your GUI, you will learn how to connect to networks, databases, and graphical libraries that greatly enhance the functionality of your GUI. You’ll also learn how to use threading to ensure that your GUI doesn't become unresponsive. Finally, you’ll learn about the versatile PyQt GUI framework, which comes with its own visual editor that allows you to design GUIs using drag and drop features.

By the end of the book, you’ll be an expert in designing Python GUIs and be able to develop a variety of GUI applications with ease.

What you will learn

• Create amazing GUIs with Python's built-in Tkinter module
• Customize GUIs using layout managers to arrange GUI widgets
• Advance from the typical waterfall coding style to an OOP style using Python
